satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and, in connection therewith, the

to
minimize Losses therefrom. Regardless of which Party defends any such Third
Party Claim, the other Party shall have the right at its expense to participate
in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing.

Guaranty
This
GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) is made as of July ___, 2007, by J Dapper and Xxx
Xxxxxx (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”), in favor of JDCO,
Inc., a California corporation (“Seller”).
WHEREAS,
Seller and Java Nevada, LLC ("Purchaser"), have entered into that certain
Asset
Purchase Agreement dated as of July ___, 2007 by and between Seller and
Purchaser (“Purchase Agreement”), for the sale of the Assets (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) by Seller to Purchaser (the “Acquisition”);
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser has agreed to
pay
Seller an aggregate of One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000)
(“Purchase Price”) for the Assets, payable as follows: (i) Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($200,000) upon closing of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) that
certain
promissory note in the principal amount of Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars
($900,000) (the “Note”);
WHEREAS,
the Guarantors have a financial interest in Purchaser, and
WHEREAS,
as a condition precedent to Seller’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement,
Seller has required that Guarantors execute and deliver this Guaranty to
Seller.
The Purchase Agreement, the Note, the Guaranty and all other documents executed
by Purchaser in connection with the Acquisition are hereby referred to as
the
“Acquisition Documents.”
NOW
THEREFORE, for and in consideration of consummating the Acquisition by Seller
and as a material inducement to Seller to execute the Acquisition Documents,
Guarantors hereby jointly, severally, absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantee the prompt payment by Purchaser of the Purchase Price
and
other sums payable by Purchaser under the Acquisition Documents and the faithful
and prompt performance by Purchaser of each and every one of the terms,
conditions and covenants of the Acquisition Documents to be kept and performed
by Purchaser.
Seller
and the Guarantors hereby agree as follows:
1. If
at any
time Purchaser defaults on any obligation under the Acquisition Documents,
the
Guarantors will promptly pay, upon demand, such sums to Seller in good
funds
necessary to cure said default or perform such obligation and immediately
take
any action necessary to cure said default. Seller may enforce this Guaranty
upon
a default under the Acquisition Documents notwithstanding any dispute between
Seller and Purchaser with respect to either the existence of the default
or of
any counterclaim, set-off or other claim that Purchaser may allege against
Seller. Seller shall have the right to proceed against the Guarantors without
exhausting its rights against Purchaser first. The Guarantors’ liability under
this Guaranty shall continue until each and every obligation of Purchaser
under
the Acquisition Documents has been duly paid and/or performed.
2. Without
notice to or consent of the Guarantor and without in any way altering,
waiving,
exonerating, limiting or otherwise affecting this Guaranty or the liability
of
the Guarantors hereunder: (a) any of the provisions of any of the Acquisition
Documents may at any time and from time to time be modified or amended
by
agreement, express or implied, between Seller and Purchaser; (b) Seller may
at any time and from time to time assign its interest in the Note and this
Guaranty, either absolutely or as security; (c) Seller may release or discharge
any person liable under the Acquisition Documents (including Purchaser)
or any
other guarantor or any security or collateral that Seller may at any time
hold
for the performance of Purchaser or its obligations under the Note; (d)
Seller
may foreclose or otherwise realize on any security or collateral for the
performance by Purchaser of its obligations under the Acquisition Documents;
(e)
Seller may accept or make compositions or other arrangements or file or
refrain
from filing a claim in any bankruptcy proceeding of Purchaser, the Guarantors
or
any other guarantor; (f) Seller and Purchaser may amend any provision of
any
Acquisition Document; and (h) Seller may deal with Purchaser or any other
guarantor or any security or collateral held by Seller as Seller may determine
in its sole and absolute discretion. The Guarantors specifically agree
their
respective liability hereunder shall continue even if Seller alters any
obligations of Purchaser under the Acquisition Documents in any respect
or if
the Guarantors’ remedies or rights against Purchaser are in any way impaired or
suspended without notice to or the consent of the Guarantors.
3. This
Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and performance and not of collectability.
This Guaranty is not conditioned or contingent upon the genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Acquisition Documents or the obligations
contained therein. The Guarantors specifically agree that they shall remain
liable even if Purchaser has no liability at the time of execution or if
Purchaser, at any time, ceases to be liable. This Guaranty and the liability
of
the Guarantors will not be altered, limited or otherwise affected by reason
of
the dissolution of Purchaser or the discharge of Purchaser’s
liability hereunder by operation of law or otherwise. The Guarantors
specifically agree that liability under this Guaranty may be larger in
amount or
otherwise more burdensome than the liability of Purchaser under the Acquisition
Documents.
4. Each
Guarantor hereby waives (a) diligence and all demands, protests, and
presentations or presentments; (b) notice of every kind or nature to the
Guarantors, to Purchaser or to any other person, including notices of (i)
protest, dishonor, nonpayment or nonperformance, or acceptance of this
Guaranty,
(ii) any default under the Acquisition Documents or the accrual of any
obligation hereunder, and (iii) the election by Seller to pursue any right
or
remedy available to Seller upon a default by Purchaser under the Acquisition
Documents; (c) the right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as
a
defense to the liability of the Guarantor hereunder or the enforcement
of this
Guaranty; (d) all principles or provisions of law or equity that conflict
with
any of the provisions of this Guaranty or would limit or impair Seller’s rights
hereunder; and (e) any right of subrogation. This Guaranty and the liability
of
Guarantors hereunder will not be altered, limited or otherwise affected
by
Seller’s failure to enforce or delay in enforcing any of the rights or remedies
of Seller under the Acquisition Documents or at law or in equity. No failure
or
delay will be construed as a waiver of any such rights or
remedies.
5. (a) Without
in any way limiting the generality of the waivers and agreements set forth
above, this Guaranty and the liability of the Guarantors hereunder will
not be
altered, limited or otherwise affected by: (i) the release or discharge
of
Purchaser in any creditor proceeding, insolvency proceeding, receivership,
bankruptcy or other debtor relief proceeding (each and all of which shall
hereinafter be referred as a “Purchaser Insolvency Proceeding”); (ii) the
impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of Purchaser or
the
estate of Purchaser, (iii) the impairment, limitation or modification of
any
remedy that Seller may have for the enforcement of Purchaser’s liability
resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any
statute
or decisional law applicable to or enforced in any Purchaser Insolvency
Proceeding; or (iv) the rejection or disaffirmance of the Acquisition or
any
obligation to be paid or performed by Purchaser in any Purchaser Insolvency
Proceeding. Any payment due from Purchaser that accrues after the commencement
of any Purchaser Insolvency Proceeding (or, if any payment ceases to accrue
by
operation of law as a result of the commencement of a Purchaser Insolvency
Proceeding, such payment as would have accrued if the Purchaser Insolvency
Proceeding had not commenced) shall be included in the Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder.
(b) The
Guarantors will file all claims against Purchaser in any Purchaser Insolvency
Proceeding where the filing of the claims is permitted or required by law
on any
indebtedness of Purchaser to the Guarantors. The Guarantors hereby assign
to
Seller all rights of the Guarantors with respect to each and every claim.
Seller
will have the sole right to accept or reject on behalf of the Guarantors
any
plan proposed in such Purchaser Insolvency Proceeding and to take any other
action that the Guarantors otherwise would be entitled to take in the Purchaser
Insolvency Proceeding. If the Guarantors do not file any such claim, then
Seller, as attorney in fact for the Guarantors, is hereby authorized (but
is not
obligated) to do so in the name of the Guarantors or, in Seller’s discretion, to
assign the claim and to file a proof of claim in the name of Seller’s assignee
or nominee. In any Purchaser Insolvency Proceeding, the person or persons
authorized and instructed to pay to Seller the full amount of any such
claim are
hereby authorized and instructed to pay to Seller the full amount of any
such
claim unless and until all of the obligations of Purchaser under the Acquisition
Documents have been duly paid and performed, and, to the extent necessary
for
such purpose, the Guarantors hereby assigns to Seller all of the Guarantors’
rights to any such payments or distributions.
6.
Each
Guarantor jointly and severally represents and warrants to Seller as
follows:
(a) Each
Guarantor now has and will continue to have full and complete access to
any and
all information concerning the Acquisition Documents, the value of the
assets
owned or to be acquired by Purchaser, Purchaser’s financial status and its
ability to pay and perform the obligations under the Acquisition Documents.
Each
Guarantor further represents and warrants to Seller that the Guarantors
have
reviewed and approved the Acquisition and are fully informed of the remedies
Seller may pursue in the event of default. So long as any of the Guarantors’
obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied or owing to Seller, the Guarantors
will
keep fully informed of Purchaser’s financial condition and the performance of
Purchaser’s obligations under the Acquisition Documents. Seller has no
obligation to give notice to the Guarantors in the event of any change
in
Purchaser’s financial condition or the performance (or failure of performance)
by Purchaser of its obligations under the Acquisition Documents.
(b) No
consent of any other person or entity, including any creditor of the Guarantors,
and no license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice
or
report to, or registration, filing declaration with, any governmental authority,
is required to be obtained or made by the Guarantors in connection with
or as a
condition to the execution of the Guaranty.
(c) This

(d) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not violate
(i) any provision of any law or regulation, (ii) any order, judgment,
award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority binding
upon
the Guarantors, or (iii) any mortgage, indenture, contract or other
agreement that the Guarantors or any of the Guarantors’ assets may be bound. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not result in
or
require the creation or imposition of any lien on the Guarantors’ property,
assets or revenues.
8. Within
thirty (30) days after the Guarantors receive a request from Seller, the
Guarantors will execute and deliver to Seller, and to any third party designated
by Seller, a certificate reciting that (a) this Guaranty is unmodified
and in
full force and effect; and (b) no event has occurred which, with the passage
of
time or notice or both, would constitute or entitle the Guarantors to any
defense, offset, counterclaim or exoneration under this Guaranty. The Guarantors
expressly agree that any certificate executed and delivered by the Guarantors
may be relied upon by Seller and any other person to whom the certificate
is
delivered without independent investigation or examination to determine
the
accuracy, reasonableness, or good faith of the information and recitals
contained therein.
9. Guarantors
do hereby subrogate all existing or future indebtedness of Purchaser to
Guarantors to the obligations owed to Seller under the Purchase Agreement
and
this Guaranty.
10. (a) This
Guaranty will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and
their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, permitted

the
event any action be brought by said Seller against Guarantors hereunder

enforce the obligation of Guarantors hereunder, the unsuccessful party
in such
action shall pay to the prevailing party therein a reasonable attorney's
fee
which shall be fixed by the court.

Guaranty is subject to amendment only by a writing that makes reference
to this
Guaranty and is signed by all parties hereto.
(d) This
Guaranty will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State
of
Nevada.
(e) This
Guaranty may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute
an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one (1) and the same
instrument.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, this Guaranty is effective as of the date first written
above.
