Lender may file a separate action or actions against any Guarantor, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions.

The failure, at any one or more times, of Lender to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. Lender shall have the right to take any action it deems appropriate without the necessity of resorting to any collateral securing this Guaranty.
9.3. Integration. This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents constitute the sole agreement of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and supersede all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect thereto.

9.7. No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as otherwise provided herein, Guarantors and Lender do not intend the benefits of this Guaranty to inure to any third party and no third party (including Company) shall have any status, right or entitlement under this Guaranty.
9.8. Partial Invalidity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Guaranty shall not render any other provision invalid or unenforceable. In lieu of any invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.
9.9. Binding Effect. The covenants, conditions, waivers, releases and agreements contained in this Guaranty shall bind, and the benefits thereof shall inure to, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that this Guaranty cannot be assigned by any Guarantor without the prior written consent of Lender, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by the Guarantor shall be void and of no effect with respect to the Lender.

9.12. MANDATORY FORUM SELECTION. TO INDUCE LENDER TO MAKE THE LOAN, GUARANTORS IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS AGREEMENT OR RELATED TO ANY MATTER WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE COLLATERAL (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH CLAIM IS BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORT) SHALL, EXCEPT AS HEREINAFTER PROVIDED, BE SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE STATE AND/OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, LENDER MAY, AT LENDER’S SOLE OPTION, ELECT TO BRING ANY ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THIS PROVISION IS INTENDED TO BE A “MANDATORY” FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE AND GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED CONSISTENT WITH FLORIDA LAW. GUARANTORS HEREBY CONSENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT HAVING ITS SITUS IN SAID COUNTY (OR TO ANY OTHER JURISDICTION OR VENUE, IF LENDER SO ELECTS), AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS. GUARANTORS HEREBY WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND CONSENT THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO GUARANTORS, AS SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN THE MANNER PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OF COURT OR OTHERWISE.
9.13. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon Lender or Guarantors, to be effective, shall be delivered in the manner and addressed at the applicable address set forth in the Credit Agreement. Each of the Guarantors agrees and acknowledges that notice to each of them may be sent and delivered to the Company, as required under the Credit Agreement, and such notice to the Company shall be deemed valid and effective notice to Guarantors hereunder.
9.14. Governing Law. Except in the case of the Mandatory Forum Selection clause set forth in Section 9.12 hereof, this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Nevada without reference to conflict of laws principles.
9.15. Joint and Several Liability. The word “Guarantor” or “Guarantors” shall mean all of the undersigned Persons, if more than one, and their liability shall be joint and several. The liability of Guarantors shall also be joint and several with the liability of any other guarantor under any other guaranty.
9.16. Continuing Enforcement. If, after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Obligations, Lender is compelled or reasonably agrees, for settlement purposes, to surrender such payment to any person or entity for any reason (including, without limitation, a determination that such payment is void or voidable as a preference or fraudulent conveyance, an impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds), then this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, and Guarantors shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender with respect to the full amount so surrendered. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and shall remain effective notwithstanding the payment of the Obligations, the cancellation or conversion of the Loan, this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, the release of any security interest, lien or encumbrance securing the Obligations or any other action which Lender may have taken in reliance upon its receipt of such payment. Any cancellation, release or other such action shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon any payment of the Obligations having become final and irrevocable.
9.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. GUARANTORS AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM, BROUGHT BY LENDER OR GUARANTORS ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT HERETO OR THERETO, SHALL BE TRIED ONLY BY A COURT AND NOT BY A JURY. LENDER AND GUARANTORS HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY, AND WITH THE ADVICE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. FURTHER, LENDER AND GUARANTORS WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. GUARANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS SECTION IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS GUARANTY AND THAT LENDER WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THIS LOAN IF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WERE NOT A PART OF THIS GUARANTY.
