any such obligations and liabilities upon which Debtor or one or more parties
and Debtor is or may become liable to Laurus, whether incurred by Debtor as
maker, endorser, drawer, acceptor, guarantors, accommodation party or otherwise,
and whether due or to become due, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent,
joint or several, and however or whenever acquired by Laurus, whether arising
under, out of, or in connection with (i) that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between the Debtor and Laurus (the
"Securities Purchase Agreement") and (ii) each Related Agreement referred to in
the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement and each
Related Agreement, as each may be amended, modified, restated or supplemented
from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the "Documents"), or
any documents, instruments or agreements relating to or executed in connection
with the Documents or any documents, instruments or agreements referred to
therein or otherwise, or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of
the Debtor to Laurus, whether now existing or hereafter arising, direct or
indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, due or not due and
whether under, pursuant to or evidenced by a note, agreement, guaranty,
instrument or otherwise (all of which are herein collectively referred to as the
"Obligations"), and irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or
enforceability of such Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the
Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such
collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of
any or all of the Obligations in any case commenced by or against Debtor under
Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations or
indebtedness of Debtor for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that

such case. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned
such terms in [the Securities Purchase Agreement. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the undersigned xxxxxx agrees as follows:
1. NO IMPAIRMENT. Laurus may at any time and from time to time, either
before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of
the undersigned, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any
collateral for, renew or extend any of the Obligations or increase or decrease
the interest rate thereon, or any other agreement with Debtor or with any other
party to or person liable on any of the Obligations, or interested therein, for
the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in
whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any
agreement between Laurus and Debtor or any such other party or person, or make
any election of rights Laurus may deem desirable under the United States

reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally (any of the foregoing, an "Insolvency
Law") without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty. This instrument
shall be effective regardless of the subsequent incorporation, merger or
consolidation of Debtor, or any change in the composition, nature, personnel or
location of Debtor and shall extend to any successor entity to Debtor, including
a debtor in possession or the like under any Insolvency Law.
2. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE. Subject to Section 5(c), each of the undersigned
jointly and severally guarantees that the Obligations will be paid in accordance
with the terms of the Documents and/or any other document, instrument or
agreement creating or evidencing the Obligations, regardless of any law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any
of such terms or the rights of Debtor with respect thereto. Guarantors hereby
knowingly accept the full range of risk encompassed within a contract of
"continuing guaranty" which risk includes the possibility that Debtor will
contract additional indebtedness for which Guarantors may be liable hereunder
after Xxxxxx's financial condition or ability to pay its lawful debts when they
fall due has deteriorated, whether or not Debtor has properly authorized
incurring such additional indebtedness. The undersigned acknowledge that (i) no
oral representations, including any representations to extend credit or provide
other financial accommodations to Debtor, have been made by Xxxxxx to induce the
undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and (ii) any extension of credit to the
Debtor shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Documents. The
liability of each of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall be absolute and
unconditional, in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and
effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged,
terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever,
including, without limitation: (a) any waiver, indulgence, renewal, extension,
amendment or modification of or addition, consent or supplement to or deletion
from or any other action or inaction under or in respect of the Documents or any
other instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or
transfer of any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Document or other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the
Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (c) any furnishing of
any additional security to Laurus or its assignees or any acceptance thereof or
any release of any security by Laurus or its assignees, (d) any limitation on
any party's liability or obligation under the Documents or any other documents,
instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or
transfer of any thereof or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in
part, of any such document, instrument or agreement or any term thereof, (e) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution,
liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Debtor, or any action taken
with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in
any such proceeding, whether or not the undersigned shall have notice or
knowledge of any of the foregoing, (f) any exchange, release or nonperfection of
any collateral, or any release, or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any guaranty or security, for all or any of the Obligations or
(g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, the undersigned, all except to the extent agreed to in
writing by Xxxxxx. Any amounts due from the undersigned to Laurus shall bear
interest until such amounts are paid in full at the highest rate then applicable
to the Obligations. Obligations include post-petition interest whether or not
allowed or allowable.

3. WAIVERS.
(a) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.
Laurus shall be under no obligation to institute suit, exercise rights or
remedies or take any other action against Debtor or any other person liable with
respect to any of the Obligations or resort to any collateral security held by
it to secure any of the Obligations as a condition precedent to the undersigned
being obligated to perform as agreed herein and each of the Guarantors hereby
waives any and all rights which it may have by statute or otherwise which would
require Laurus to do any of the foregoing. Each of the Guarantors further
consents and agrees that Xxxxxx shall be under no obligation to marshal any
assets in favor of Guarantors, or against or in payment of any or all of the
Obligations. The undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any
rights to interpose any defense, counterclaim or offset of any nature and
description which the undersigned may have or which may exist between and among
Laurus, Debtor and/or the undersigned with respect to the undersigned's
obligations under this Guaranty, or which Debtor may assert on the underlying
debt, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty,
fraud, payment (other than cash payment in full of the Obligations), statute of
frauds, bankruptcy, infancy, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction,

be entitled, including, without limitation, notice of adverse change in Debtor's
financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the
risk of the undersigned and (ii) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone
whomsoever liable upon any of the Obligations, protest, notices of presentment,

Xxxxxx against Debtor or against any collateral or guarantee or right of offset
held by Xxxxxx for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the undersigned
seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Debtor in
respect of payments made by the undersigned hereunder, until all amounts owing
to Laurus by Debtor on account of the Obligations are paid in full and Laurus'
obligation to extend credit pursuant to the Documents have been terminated. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on
account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall
not have been paid in full and Laurus' obligation to extend credit pursuant to
the Documents shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by the
undersigned in trust for Laurus, segregated from other funds of the undersigned,
and shall forthwith upon, and in any event within two (2) business days of,
receipt by the undersigned, be turned over to Laurus in the exact form received
by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to Laurus, if required), to
be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order
as Laurus may determine, subject to the provisions of the Documents. Any and all
present and future debts and obligations of Debtor to any of the undersigned are
hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and subordinated to the full payment
and performance of, all present and future debts and Obligations of Debtor to
Xxxxxx.

3

all of the undersigned's obligations to Laurus and to any Affiliate of Laurus,
no matter how or when arising and whether under this or any other instrument,
agreement or otherwise.
